Professor Elisha Gray, Of telephone
fame, is pcrfecling an invention with won
derful possibilities, and one which prom
iscs great results. 1t has already reached
that stage which insures it's practical sue
cess the experiments thus far proving
eminently satisfactory. The "telauto-
graph is the name by which the instru
ment will be known. which, by the way.
conveys Il very fair idea Of what the in
strument really is. Once in operation it
will be possible for the Chicago speculutur
to deliver to the New York broker /; tca,l-
tographic order to buy or sell |. 900 OF lO,-
OOO shares of railroad stock, an exact fac
similc of the order being reproduced in
that city at the same instant it is written
here. IL the Chicago man happens to be
III New York and wants to send his wife
u check for money he simply writes it out
in that city, and the moment he is through
1t is in his wife's hands here. The cleo
tric current, Of course. is an important
factor in the invention, but the chief feat
ire is the plate or instrument on which
the writing Is done. No particular kind
CT pen or pencil has To le used: in fact, q
sharp pointed Instrument Of any kind, or
even piece OF wood will answer the pllr-
pose. The paper on which the writing is
done and the autograph reproduced does
not have to be prepared, for in the first in
stance it is the pressure on the plate
which gives the impulse to the machine,
while the reproduction is brought about
by tracing point, which may be Il
properly linked pen or even an ordinary
lead pencil attached to u movable arm in
the receiving machine at the other end Z!

EXTRA BILLY Smith.

The death of Ex-Governor William
Smith, of Virginia, or Extra Billy"
Smith, as he was more generally
known to the public, in the ninetieth
year Of his age, revives memories of
one Of the most extraordinary careers
that has been vouchsafed to an Amer
lean, even in this country of strange
and startling vicissitudes. Mail con
tractor, state legislator, elected re
peatedly to Congress, over and over
again the dangerous rival of Virginia S
greatest statesman for the United
States Senate, daredevil in com
mand Of brigade in one Of the great
est wars that ever convulsed the
earth, and twice governor of the Old
Dominion, he has gone to his grave
monumental Illustration of what
pluck, shrewdness and energy can ac
complish in free America. He had
very little education, and of states
manship lie knew nothing whatever
but in the art Of dextrously playing
upon the passions of men, and guild
ing the masses for his own personal
ends, he had no superior. He knew
SO little Of military tactics that in one
engagement he was said to have
drawn a straight line in front of his
brigade, and said, Now, men, toe
that line :" but he reared nothing hu-
man, and if his men would only fol
low where Extra Billy" would lead,
nothing could stand in front of them.
He had bitter enemies in Virginia,
but few men in that or any other
state possessed such a multitude of
staunch friends.

The Jews of Russia.

These Polish Jews should not be
COMPOUNDED with the thrifty Jews Of
America. They are another class Of
people. Their features, their man
ners, the cut either hair, and the
fashion Of their clothing are different
from what one is accustomed to sec
in New YVl The number of blends
among them is surprisingly large.
They seldom travel alone, bnt in
compaies roam the plains of Russia

they In turn, ever watching, ever
hating, are never afraid, yet dlstrust

EQUIP THE BOATS QUICK
The Steamers Intended for the Sa.
vannah River.
Fyom the augusta tGa.) Chronicle.

From the augusta (Gd.) Chronicle.
The real Importance OF the savannah
river to Augusta, especially to the manu-
featuring interest, is to be torcibly pre-
scented now, and the millmen are called
upon to give their careful consideration
to the matter.
Freight rates on cotton goods out from
Augusta, which have been put in the
sixth class, have been SIC. per 100 out
ward and 96c. per 100 inward. This regu-
latlon was arranged so as To permit South
ern mills to compete with Northern manu-
facturers. But quite a change is to come
about. and Southern manufactures are not
TO have such plain sailing hereafter. Under
the stipulatIons OF the interstate commerce
blll, preye nting discrimination, cotton
goods are taken from the sixth class and
put in the fourth class for carload lots
and the third-class for less lots, with
rates at 5Sc. per hundred and Coo.
per hundred respectively. Northern
goods, which formerly ranked frst-class,
are to be classified third and fourth
also, and the manufacturers will be on
the same footing 30 lar as rates are con-
cerned.
But wherein the Savannah river is con-
cerned judge Cooley, the ablest mind
probably on the commission appointed
under the interstate commerce bill, SAYS,
abiding to railroads which come in COM
petition with river lines, that the COM
mission is authorized to make special
rates in cases where it finds water COM
petition materially affects the through
traffic Of railroads, ana very strongly in
Inmates that the commission will make
such rates in behalf of railroads conf
peting with Ohio and Mississippi river
transportation. Now sucn q ruling IS
very probable, and Augusta would be
benefited thereby.
But how? by placing the rail lines in
direct competition with river trans
portation. Build and equip tine river line
OF steamers, The Manufacturers Asso-
cation is now directly Interested in this
matter and should give the sLeamboa
association unstinted support. They
should put $l5, 900 or $40, 900 in the enter
prise and make our river transportation
something which would command the
attention of the commissioners. Then If
a ruling is made in behalf OF the Ohio and
Mississippi pool, this locality will come
under it's provisions and partake of the
benefits accruing.
1t may not be out of place to state that
there is but l,S00 now necessary TO start
the steamboat enterprise, but would it
not be advisable to increase the number
OF boats-to nave the enterprise become
larger than originally intended? To
profit by such decision by the commits
sion would not be the only advantage.
We would have all water transportation
tor our treiRhts, and would be- indepen-
dent OF railroads IN every way.

THE GRADING FINISHED.
The Tybec Railroad TO Be In Opera
ton by the Middle OF May.

The Tybcc Railroad TO Be In Opera
ton by the Middle OF May.
Yesterday was the time fixed in the
contract for the completion of the rail-
road to Tybee, but for the past month
those who have been conversant with the
progress of the work have been aware
of the fact that more time would be re-
quired. This delay is owing to unexpected
obstacles encountered in the work
through the marshlands below the city,
caused mainly by the difficulty in keeping
up q sufficient force of men to do the
grading. The grading of the entire line,
however, was about finished yesterday,
and rails were laid 10 Fort Barlow.
1t Is expected that by the end OF next
week construction trains Will run To
Augustine creek. The iron bridge at that
point will be ready in two weeks, when
work will begin on the bridge across
LaZaretto creek. While that work is be-
ing done the rails will be put down on
Tybee and Mcqueen islands.
AT meeting of the board of directors
held yesterday afternoon, at which
Messrs. Purse, Hamilton, Myers, Row
land, Blum, McDOnough and Eslil were
present, Mr.. lnness, the contractor,
made satisfactory explanation as to the
causes of the delay in the completion
of the road, and stated that
If there were no unforeseen delays
it would be completed to the island
between May 1 and May 10, which will
be the usual time the season opens. The
new locomotives are on the way, and the
cars will be ready before the road is
completed. The directors and the con-
tractor are determined to leave nothing
undone to get the road ready to accom-
modate those who desire to spend the
summer at TVbee.

THEY WANT TO PARADE.
Salvation Soldiers Ask Fcrmission
TO Go in the Streets.

A delegation OF the Salvation Army,
headed by Col. Light, called on Mayor
Lester yesterday to get permission to pa
rade through the streets. A special
meeting of Council was being held, and
an appointment was made for to-day.
Col. Light stated to a reporter that be
fears the public has got wrong impress
sion about the Army.
"We do not create riots" said he. "Our
mission is one of peace, ana we seek 10
take away out of the hearts OF men
that which tends 10 make dls-
order. l understand that there was
a band of Holiness Evangehsts here few
weeks ago, d that their open-air meet
ings we're TENDED with disorder. We
have no connection with those people at
ali. We want to march through the
streets because in that way we can reach
larger number of people and attract
more TO our meetings, The time OF march
ing is usually between anu o'clock at
night, and as soon as it is over we go TO
our place OF meeting.
sometimes we stop for few minutes
and have prayer or a song, but we al
ways avoid obstructinR the streets, for
we know better than that, and know that
would be a nuisance. | learn that mine
trel companies, military companies ana
gutter bands are allowed to parade IN the
streets OF Savannah, and can assure you
we like TO see good order as well as any OF
those. A minstrel company is always
followed by a big crowd. What DO we do
If the crowd gets disorderly on the streeti
Why, we move on, AS the policemen say,
and 20 back to our hall"
Augusta and Atlanta and all of the
cities in the South have cheertully given
us permission 10 march through the
streets. Savannah has an ordinance, l
am told, authorizing the Mayor to pro-
hibit any parade or anything OF the Kind
W hich will create excitement. II we do
not cause disorder il cannot be against
tire law for us to march. 1t is certainly
right 10 which we are entitled. We want
10 draw everybody we can to our meet
lngs. Twelve, think 1t was, of our
army were arrested in Williamsport,
Pa, for parading. We tested the law,
and the courts decided that we had right
ito march. We had good case to sue for
damages for false imprisonment, but all
we wanted was to get to parade and carry
iour point, which we did.'
Last night the Army held another
crowded meeting ana had several protes-
sions, raising the total number TO about
seventy-tye. A meeting for children is
held every Saturday afternoon.
